1O LORD, rebuke me not in Thy wrath; neither chasten me in Thy hot displeasure. 2For Thine arrows stick fast in me, and Thy hand presseth me greatly {sore}. 3There is no soundness in my flesh because of Thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin. 4For mine iniquities are gone over mine head; like {as} an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. 5My wounds are repulsive {stink} and corrupt because of my foolishness. 6I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. 7For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease; and there is no soundness in my flesh. 8I am feeble and very {sore} broken; I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart. 9LORD, all my desire is before Thee; and my groaning is not hidden from Thee. 10My heart panteth, my strength faileth me; as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

11My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off. 12They also who seek after my life lay snares for me; and they who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long. 13But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man who openeth not his mouth. 14Thus I was as a man who heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs. 15For in Thee, O LORD, do I hope; Thou wilt hear, O LORD my God. 16For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me. When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me. 17For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me. 18For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. 19But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong; and they who hate me wrongfully are multiplied. 20They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that is good. 21Forsake me not, O LORD; O my God, be not far from me. 22Make haste to help me, O LORD my salvation.
